What were the women thinking after they took over the grinding from Baba, and what does this reveal about their perception of him?

Chapter 1 explains that after the women finished grinding the wheat, their minds were filled with uncontrollable thoughts. They knew Baba lived on alms and had no wife or son, so they wondered what he would do with so much flour. They speculated that this was a compassionate play for their benefit and that he would divide the flour among them. The text notes they were 'building castles in the air' and that their 'minds were greedy to loot Baba,' suggesting their perception of him was a mix of recognizing his compassion while also having a self-interested desire for the fruits of his mysterious actions.
